Is it safe to connect your accounts?

Full safety page

What Perplexity states about data access, approvals, passwords, training, isolation and retention. We report the vendor's claims; we do not audit them.

  • What it can access

    By default Comet Assistant does not upload your browsing history, open-tab list, cookies, passwords, autofill data or local files. It sends only the context a request needs (the current tab, selected text, a tab you @mention, or email/calendar data for a task). Settings → Privacy and security lets you turn the assistant off or block it on specific sites, such as your bank. perplexity.ai · checked

  • Asks before sensitive actions

    Depends on your settings
    The first time an advanced agent or automation runs, Comet asks: Allow this time only, Always allow (no more prompts) or Don't allow. Full quoteThe first time an advanced agent or automation runs, Comet asks: Allow this time only, Always allow (no more prompts) or Don't allow. It always asks before connecting another service such as Gmail.

  • Sees your passwords

    No "Comet never has access to your passwords or payment data." The browser's own password manager stores passwords locally. perplexity.ai · checked

  • Trains on your data

    Not published Perplexity does not state this on the pages we checked.

  • Where it runs (isolation)

    The assistant works in your own browser. By default, browsing data, including visited sites and cookies, is stored locally on your device. perplexity.ai · checked

  • How long data is kept

    Page, history or tab context sent for a request is stored for up to 30 days for Library and query history, then deleted automatically. These threads show as Temporary threads, which you can delete. perplexity.ai · checked
